Default messages not sending but no error

Using OE 6 / Win XP Pro. I have a couple of messages that have reasonably
large zip attachments (about 4mb) and they just won't send. It looks as if
they are sending ok then finally it says "
Some errors occurred whilst processing he requesting tasks. Please review
the list of errors below for more details" but the errors pane is blank.
Recipient is a regular recipient, not using a message limiting web based
email
And also sometimes the messages DO go but they are not saved to the sent
folder which is the default) and again I get the same error message even
though it's gone. I can't tell who's actually receiving the messages and
attachments and who aren't!

Check with your ISP. Many do not allow any message whose total size exceeds
1 MB although they are few. Also be aware that your total message size will
grow due to encoding for transmission by about 30-40% over the total sum of
included attachments, so if you have a 5MB limit and send a 4 MB attachment,
you may well exceed the allowable 5 MB limit.

You might also have a corrupted Outbox. To rule that out, close Outlook
Express and do a file search for Outbox.dbx (which is hidden by default by
the operating system so you will have to alter your search criteria to
include searching for hidden files) and delete all instances of it you find.
When you reopen Outlook Express, a new and uncorrupted Outbox will be built
automatically by the program.

It's possible that the identity in use may be corrupted (particularly if it
is the default "Main Identity"). What I would suggest is to create a new
identity, switch to it and create the email accounts in that new identity
and test it. If all works, use the File/Import/Messages - selecting From an
Identity to import your mail messages from the old, problem identity to the
new, and then delete the older, problem identity.
